KATH Management Body Defends  its CEO  Over Accusations

The  management of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) has vehemently defended its CEO, Prof. Otchere Addai-Mensah, against accusations of financial impropriety and procurement violations levelled by former hospital attorney, Kwame Adofo.

According to Adofo, who served as KATH’s legal counsel until December 31, 2023, Prof. Addai-Mensah has mismanaged funds and flouted procurement regulations since assuming office in December 2022.

However, the hospital’s management has dismissed the allegations as groundless and fraught with inaccuracies.

In a statement, the hospital highlighted Prof. Addai-Mensah’s significant accomplishments in elevating clinical care standards, modernizing infrastructure, and enhancing employee welfare.

These achievements have been widely praised  by hospital stakeholders, including patients, staff members, and the broader community.

The hospital’s management has also highlighted that Prof. Addai-Mensah has been fair in how he goes about things, and that all financial transactions are thoroughly audited and reported to the relevant authorities.

“We are committed to ensuring that our financial dealings are above board and in line with established regulations,” said the hospital’s management.

“We will not tolerate any attempts to undermine our integrity or that of our CEO.”

In response to a petition advocating for his dismissal, labour unions at KATH have rallied behind the CEO, Prof. Otchere Addai-Mensah.

Healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and union members, have vehemently contested the allegations as stated  in the petition.

“We recognize the allegations against the CEO do not define his character and dedication to the well-being and development of the hospital,” said the labour unions in a statement.

“We stand in solidarity with the CEO and management of the hospital to continue their good works at KATH.”
